bart, can you explain? they bought it so they can dump it?


Yes, you could say that although I'd prefer it be stated as they buy & sell in order to help manipulate and control the gold price.

Volcker said it well, as have others:
"It was probably a mistake to allow gold to rise so high."

"Joint intervention in gold sales to prevent a steep rise in the price of gold, however, was not undertaken. That was a mistake."

-- Paul Volcker, ex Federal Reserve Chairman in looking back at the rise of gold from $35 to $850 during the 1970s, per "Paul Volcker: The Making of a Financial Legend" by Joseph B. Treaster
